There was a great kids book written that was all about such a thing. It was "Top Secret" by John Reynolds Gardiner.
Summary:
If plants can photosynthesize, why can't humans? Allen Brewster thinks his idea for his fourth grade science project is stupendous, but everyone except his grandfather hates it. In proving his theory's possibility, Allen turns himself green and begins to grow roots. He learns that its not easy being a plant and he also sets himself up against his formidable science teacher not to mention the security agencies of the United States government. This is a very funny satire on bureaucracy versus creativity. It's a great read.

Hmmmm. Neat question. I should visit this category more often. This is a fun question.

How much light would they need? This they will probably need the most, out of water and air. They would be keenly aware of the environment and pollution. That could be their area of expertise.

He/she would be ostracized or being a "mutant" I would expect. I think these "people" would be killed and at least avoided. Most would think them a "swamp thing".

Oh well, Just send him to Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. LOL
